Hands offa mah Cookie

People are still trying to snatch away mah Cookie:

They also want to grab my Richard:

But this post is about something different. The code cards themselves.

Remember back when the Transmogrifier first cranked up fitfully and wheezing and you were lucky to be able to put in one code every three hours if you could even find a code? Remember how scarce codes were back then? They were gold! Then Topps effed it all up and put a 2010 card in the Vintage machine. Now they have to give Code cards away in blister packs just to get rid of them. Even Rack packs all have code cards in them, just about every one! I got these two cards in a normal retail pack the other day:

'61 Maris Code card

'51 Redback Maris

Now that's an interesting little coinkeydink right there. Also interesting is how Maris is in a Cardinals hat. It took me about 2 hours to notice that. Poor Roger looks like he just got beat up by a couple of New Your sportswriters. Since I got Two Marises (Marii?) in one pack I figured it must be a sign or something and redeemed my first code in about 3 or 4 months. Yes, I was a little bored this weekend.

Dayf the Blogger has a Posse

My original crappy neglected blog what I'm trying to resurrect this year

Note on the Blogroll

If you have a blog, and it ain't on here, LET ME KNOW! There are a lot of good blogs I'm missing out on. I'm also very forgetful and sometimes forget to put it on the list even if I do find a good one. If your blog is about cards or trading or sports in general I'll fit it in, but don't try to sneak your blog about politics or cats or crop rotation in the 14th century on here.
